Gustavo Varela has been one of the most in-form strikers in Europe’s top leagues this season, and Arsenal is keen to add him to their squad. The striker plays for Monza in Serie A, and he only joined the club this season, yet he has been one of the most in-form strikers in the top European leagues.He has scored seven goals in as many league matches for them, and it is now hard for them to keep him as Arsenal is one of the clubs keen to sign him. The Gunners see him as a top player for their team and will do their best to add him to the group as they prepare for the departure of Viktor Gyokeres, who has been poor since he joined them.Arsenal’s Interest in VarelaThis season, he hardly gets on the team and has been tipped to leave the Gunners in the next transfer window, so Arsenal could sign Varela to replace him. However, Tuttomercatoweb claims that Napoli is also interested in a move for him, and they will compete with Arsenal to add him to their squad.The Brazilian’s form has caught the eye, and the competition for his signature is fierce. Arsenal’s interest is genuine, but they are not the only club monitoring the situation, and the race could be tight.(Photo by Claudio Villa/Getty Images)The Battle for His SignatureThe Gunners will have to sell first, and he might feel he is used to Serie A and would not struggle if he joins a team in the competition. Napoli’s interest adds a new dimension, as the Italian club could offer him a smoother transition.Varela’s quality is not in question, and his goal-scoring record speaks for itself, but the competition for his signature is real. Arsenal’s need for a striker is clear, and the Brazilian fits the profile.The coming weeks will show whether Arsenal can get the deal done, as the race for his signature heats up. Varela’s future is uncertain, but a move to a bigger club seems likely. The January window will be key._____________________________________________________________________________________________ADMIN COMMENTSo here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans.
